Newsweek's Fall and More

2Blowhards looks at journalism and has a link to an article by Howard Kurtz at the hazy future of Newsweek magazine.

Newsweek has been declining for years. I recall when it used to boast that, in contrast with archrival Time, it kept opinions out of its reporting. That has long been a joke.

Roger L. Simon notes:

And what is Newsweek anyway? In recent years it’s been nothing more than a semi-leftwing propaganda rag for Upper West Side dentists – chock full of the kind of opinion you can get for nothing on the Huffington Post or even the Daily Kos. Newsweek is slightly better written, I admit. But if you’re looking for English prose, I suggest The New Statesman or an old paperback of E. B. White.
